A Playseat, a Thrustmaster T-GT2, and a Conversation Outside My Sister's House
In May, Carl bought a Playseat and a Thrustmaster T-GT2 racing wheel off me on Facebook Marketplace - sim racing gear, not the real thing. He came to collect it outside my sister's house, and what should've been a five-minute handover turned into a proper conversation about cars, builds, and doing things properly. That's the whole story of how BIB and JDM Plates ended up partnered - no pitch deck, no cold outreach, just two people who happened to meet over a sim rig sale and got talking about what actually matters to people who care about their cars.
